Description

Acoustic noise in multi-layer capacitor eliminates
Technical field
The embodiment described herein relates to capacitor design field, and more particularly relates to make Being embodied as of the capacitor that voltage transient minimizes.
Background technology
In electronic circuit, complex component such as microprocessor or SOC(system on a chip) (SoC) have the power of fluctuation Demand, is therefore placed around capacitor to keep supply voltage when current needs changes at these equipment Stable.These so-called " decouplings " or " bypass " capacitor be connected power supply and grounding parts it Between, and serve as the local low-impedance voltage source of the transient current occurred when can process the fluctuation of load. By the capacitor of aluminium or tantalum electrolyte manufacture be for decoupling a selection because its low cost and Electric capacity is big.Additionally, in some embodiments, during operation, the power supply of these capacitors is utilized The voltage level of voltage keeps relative constancy, so that electrolytic condenser is a kind of suitably choosing Select.
To the requirement drive of the less portable set small form factor requirements to more widget demand.Electrolysis Matter capacitor may not provide best option, because they possibly cannot provide minimum capacitor side Case.Adjust additionally, the Power-reducing techniques improving battery life brings according to the movable level of equipment Save the system of its supply voltage.Contemporary portable devices may usually make decoupling capacitors in millisecond magnitude Time interval at by the voltage influence of dynamic step between multiple level, this level is e.g. 0.8V and 1.8V.And, electrolytic condenser may will not provide best option, because it may The soonest the voltage level of change will not be responded.Alternatively, ceramic technology Development bring the multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) being suitable as decoupling capacitors, it can provide thing Manage small-sized parts and allow voltage level to change quickly.
But, the combination of MLCC technology and dynamic power voltage may result in problem.MLCC makes The pottery that during electric field change at the conductive plate two ends being used in this type of capacitor, its shape may somewhat change Dielectric substance (such as, barium titanate).These alterations of form are likely due to multiple physical phenomenon, Including piezo-electric effect, electrostriction and Coulomb force, and MLCC may be caused in response to this capacitor The change of voltage level at terminal two ends and mechanical oscillation.This vibration may be pacified by capacitor Decorate and couple, cause mechanical oscillation in the circuit board, if the frequency in the range of audibility occurs electricity Voltage level changes, and equipment the most then may be caused to launch audible noise.
First this audible characteristic (being commonly called " capacitor is sung ") of MLCC is relating to And the MLCC application of AC signal filtering is observed, and it is derived from the noise of electronic equipment Reason.Measuring and calculate the physical displacement showing in capacitor may be minimum so that capacitor surface May only move a part for single atom width.But, owing to may relate to the biggest power, coupling The overall mechanical power closed in system is possibly for being macroscopic view for people and can hear.Therefore, May need technology that the most this characteristic is reduced or eliminated.A kind of mode can be amendment capacitor peace Dress, to reduce coupling between MLCC and circuit board.Another way can be to arrange multiple electric capacity Device so that by major part noise coupling to the resonance mode that can not hear of circuit board.But, two Kind of technology all may be hindered by the fact as follows: the physical cause of vibration of all kinds and know very Less, and the details of capacitor shape change is processed details by its indoor design and seller and is affected, So that the batch production of this type of scheme is highly difficult.
Wishing to there is a kind of equipment can be according to supply voltage voltage wink from circuit decoupling supply voltage Become.Desired equipment should be also little profile, in portable set, and can resist just Characteristic sung by the capacitor described.Set forth below is the system and method for low noise capacitance apparatus.

The general introduction of the system being adjusted
In fig. 1 it is shown that include the block diagram of the embodiment of the system of voltage-stablizer and SoC.In example In the embodiment shown, system 100 includes the voltage-stablizer 101 being couple to supply voltage 102.VREG Output 103 can be the output produced by voltage-stablizer 101 and can be provided that SoC 104.Real at some Executing in scheme, coupling between voltage-stablizer 101 and SoC 104 can include stray inductance L105.It is being The embodiment of system 100 can include capacitor C106.
Voltage-stablizer 101 can receive the first voltage level such as supply voltage 102 as input, and produces There is the VREG output 103 of the second voltage level.In some embodiments, the first voltage level The second voltage level can be higher than.In other embodiments, the second voltage level can be higher than the first voltage Level.Voltage-stablizer 101 can be any suitable regulator design with various characteristic, such as example Such as switching regulator or linear, step-down or boosting and AC-to DC or DC-to-DC 's.
Supply voltage 102 can provide electric power to system 100, and more specifically can be to voltage-stablizer 101 Electric power is provided.Supply voltage 102 can be on dc source such as battery, or AC power such as wall Socket.In some embodiments, supply voltage 102 can be another voltage-stablizer or voltage rectifier Output, the output of the most such as battery charger.The voltage level of supply voltage 102 can be in Be suitable at the value that the value of SoC 104 is different, it is thus possible to need voltage-stablizer 101 to be adjusted to appropriate voltage Level.
VREG output 103 could be for the power supply of SoC 104.In some embodiments, VREG output 103 is positively retained under stable nominal voltage level, such as, be fixed under 1.8V. But, in other embodiments, VREG output can have can another by SoC 104 or system The nominal voltage level able to programme that one processor is arranged.In this type of embodiment, can be according to need Regulate the voltage level of VREG output 103, think that SoC 104 supplies voltage level, thus The movable level of coupling SoC 104.
SoC 104 can include processor, memory and any number of functional block.Various embodiment party In case, SoC 104 can be microprocessor, special IC (ASIC), field programmable gate array Or any other circuit of variable load may be placed on voltage-stablizer 101 (FPGA).SoC 104 can To be the main place in portable computing device (such as smart phone, panel computer or media player) Reason device.In other embodiments, SoC 104 can be configured to perform particular task or relevant appoint The such as graphics process, audio frequency of being engaged in processes or the coprocessor of radio communication.Depend on that currently perform appoints Business, SoC 104 can be operated under a nominal voltage level and maybe can be operated under multiple voltage level.? In some embodiments, SoC 104 can enter and exit battery saving mode, movable low time reduce power consumption also Raise power consumption quickly to perform one or more task.The change of movable level can quickly, such as one second Clock occurs repeatedly.SoC 104 can be couple to voltage-stablizer 101, thinks that VREG output arranges target voltage Level.In other embodiments, another processor in system can be provided for VREG output Voltage level and indicate SoC 104 according to VREG output perform.
Some embodiments can include stray inductance L105.In various embodiments, inductance L105 The self-inductance of wire trace on the circuit board at constructing system 100 place can be represented.I.e. inductance L105 can To be the less desirable effect of other design alternatives in system rather than discrete parts.Other embodiment party In case, inductance L105 can be a part for voltage-stablizer 101 design.Voltage due to inductor two ends Dropping proportional to the time speed of the change by the electric current of inductor, therefore inductance L105 may cause The voltage level of VREG output 103 declines in response to the sudden change of power demand or raises, such as example If as SoC 104 exits suddenly or enters battery saving mode.
In order to compensate owing to inductance L105 maybe may cause the spread of voltage in VREG output 103 The change of voltage level of VREG output 103 that causes of other factors, some embodiments can be wrapped Include capacitor C106.Owing to capacitor stores electric charge and resists voltage jump, C106 can use and be stored Electric charge supply unexpected current needs, if such as SoC 104 exits battery saving mode and opens suddenly Begin to consume more electric power, in VREG output 103, thus keep more consistent voltage level.C106 May be in response to raising suddenly and supplying electric charge of SoC 104 power demand, voltage-stablizer 101 is stable simultaneously To new power consumption levels.On the contrary, if owing to such as SoC 104 enters battery saving mode and there is power consumption Suddenly reducing, C106 can absorb unnecessary electric charge, until voltage-stablizer 101 is stabilized to new power consumption electricity Flat.
The block diagram of Fig. 1 is merely illustrative.System 100 in Fig. 1 is shown only for showing reality herein Execute parts necessary to scheme.In other embodiments, system 100 may be included in Fig. 1 and do not shows The various miscellaneous parts gone out.
The effect of capacitor C106 can be illustrated in fig. 2.Fig. 2 shows and can represent in system 100 The possible waveform of the relation of voltage level and the time of operation period VREG output 103.Common ginseng Examine the waveform of system 100 and Fig. 2 in Fig. 1, such as in the system not including capacitor such as C106 In the embodiment of 100, waveform 201 can represent the voltage level of VREG output 103.On the contrary, exist Including in the embodiment of the system 100 of capacitor, waveform 202 can represent VREG output 103 Voltage level.
Waveform 201 can illustrate the current needs sudden change impact on voltage-stablizer 101, and defeated without VREG Go out the capacitor not coupled between 103 and grounding parts.Waveform 201 shows in response to being illustrated by the broken lines Point at occur current needs change voltage level in peak and valley the most greatly.Peak upwards may It is to be caused owing to the activity of SoC 100 reduces suddenly to be declined suddenly by the current drain of SoC 100 's.The ghost effect causing inductance L105 can prevent voltage-stablizer 101 fast to declining suddenly of current drain Speed is reacted, thus causes obtaining charge accumulation in VREG output 103, and this may cause then temporarily Time voltage raise because electric charge may be had nowhere to go.Owing to voltage-stablizer 101 can be stabilized to new Current levels consumes, and therefore Voltage Peak can be decreased back to the nominal voltage level of VREG output 103.
At the alternately point at peak, waveform 201 also show the biggest paddy in VREG output 103. Downward paddy is probably and is caused by suddenly raising of SoC 104 activity.Equally, if voltage-stablizer 101 is the most stable, then stray inductance L105 can resist the change of the electric current from voltage-stablizer 101.Knot Really, not enough electric current may flow into SoC 104 to meet the unexpected rising of current needs.Electric current is not The result of foot is, the voltage level of VREG output 103 may reduce, until voltage-stablizer 101 energy Enough overcome the effect of inductance L105 and be adjusted to new current needs.Along with voltage-stablizer 101 is stable, The voltage level of VREG output 103 may raise and return to nominal voltage level.
On the contrary, between the grounding parts during waveform 202 can be illustrated in VREG output 103 and system 100 Add the effect of capacitor C106.Waveform 202 shows the current needs in response to indicated point The much smaller peak and valley of change.Additionally, compared with when being excluded with C106, including peak during C106 May be shorter with the duration of paddy.If current needs reduces suddenly, in the example of waveform 201 The stored charge having nowhere to go can flow to C106, and this may cause the voltage level of VREG output 103 Only have and raise in a small amount.If current needs reduces suddenly, then it may happen that contrary situation, In C106, stored charge may temporarily flow to SoC 104, until voltage-stablizer 101 is stable.
The waveform of Fig. 2 is intended to indicate that the example of a possible embodiment.Waveform shown in Fig. 2 It is only used to show the concept being associated with the embodiment of Fig. 1.The reality relevant to system 100 The parts that waveform based on circuit design, may be used, the technology used and system 100 operate The environmental condition at place and other factors and change.
Multilayer ceramic capacitor
As it has been described above, ceramic capacitor and especially MLCC are used as decoupling capacitors such as Fig. 1 In C106 appropriately selected.Forwarding Fig. 3 to, it includes Fig. 3 (A), Fig. 3 (B) and Fig. 3 (C), and it shows Gone out (A) under stable nominal voltage level, (B) is under voltage level suddenly negative drift, and (C) exists Unexpected voltage just drifting about under the diagram of MLCC.Capacitor 300 includes being couple to leading of grounding parts Body 301 and the conductor 302 being couple to voltage source 304.By dielectric 303 by conductor 301 and conductor 302 are isolated from each other.
Conductor 301 and conductor 302 can include by the separate multiple layer metal of dielectric 303.Constitute conductor Each layer of 301 can be coupled to each other on one end of capacitor 300, and each layer not removing composition conductor 302 can It is coupled to each other on opposite ends, but other configurations are also possible.This metal level (also referred to as plate) Can be to intersperse so that each layer replaces between conductor 301 and conductor 302.Conductor 301 and leading Body 302 is shown to have seven plates, and each plate is provided to illustrate easily.In some embodiments In, the actual quantity of plate can be more than 1000, and the sum of plate can determine that capacitor 300 One factor of capacitance.
Shape can be carried out by non-conducting material the most such as ceramic material (such as, barium titanate or titanium dioxide) Become dielectric 303.In order to regulate some characteristics of capacitor, this material can include additive, such as example Such as the alumina silicate being used together with barium titanate or magnesium silicate, and the zinc that is used together with titanium dioxide or Zirconium.In other embodiments, other suitable materials can be used as dielectric 303.At voltage (V) voltage levels constant of 304, when not changing because of the change of above-mentioned current needs, this electricity is situated between Matter can have relatively uniform thickness between the plate of conductor 301 and conductor 302.Fig. 3 (A) shows Capacitor 300 under nominal operating voltage.
If the voltage level of voltage (V-Δ V) 304 declines the value Δ V as shown in Fig. 3 (B), then dielectric 303 may shrink, thus reduce the every of the dielectric 303 between the plate of conductor 301 and conductor 302 The thickness of individual layer.In other embodiments, dielectric 303 may be in response to the negative drift of voltage level And expand.If capacitor 300 has hundreds of or more laminate, then cumulative effect is probably capacitor Overall size is significantly drifted about and the barycenter of capacitor 300 may be made to drift about, and this may cause drift Physical force is passed on the circuit board that capacitor 300 can be attached.
If the voltage level of voltage (V+ Δ V) 304 is from the nominal voltage level increase value shown in Fig. 3 (C) Δ V, then be likely to occur reverse effect, and dielectric 303 may expand, so that capacitor Drift about on the direction that the barycenter of 300 is contrary when shrinking with dielectric.In other embodiments, electricity is situated between Matter 303 can be shunk in response to the negative drift of voltage level.With reference to Fig. 1, if C106 corresponds to MLCC such as capacitor 300, and SoC 104 works, thus produce periodic power consumption and increase Big and reduce, this periodically power consumption changes and may form voltage between conductor 301 and conductor 302 Drift, thus cause capacitor 300 to vibrate at the frequency being inversely proportional to the change of power consumption cycle.This Vibration may be transferred to circuit board, and if frequency be in the range of audibility, then may hear Humming or other noises.Even if frequency is outside the range of audibility, the vibration of gained is likely to electric capacity Device 300 attachment point circuit board pressurization, and if attachment point rupture, then may cause the thing of circuit Reason fault.
It may be noted that the illustration of Fig. 3 is the most for purposes of illustration.This illustration has been simplified and has exaggerated, To emphasize the voltage-transition impact on the shape of MLCC.Additionally, for the plate number shown in each conductor May be the biggest in actual MLCC.
With reference now to Fig. 4, it illustrates another embodiment of the system including voltage-stablizer and SoC Block diagram.In the embodiment illustrated, system 400 includes the voltage stabilizing being couple to supply voltage 402 Device 401.VREG output 403 is the output of voltage-stablizer 401 generation and can be provided that SoC 404. In some embodiments, coupling between voltage-stablizer 401 and SoC 404 can include stray inductance L405.Inductance L405 is probably the conduction on the circuit board of the lead-in wire by voltage-stablizer 401 or system 400 Trace causes.Capacitor C407 can export 403, and electric capacity relative to grounding parts decoupling VREG Device C408 can decouple VREG output 403 relative to supply voltage 402.

Capacitor 500 can include two capacitors with single shared conductor and two independent conductors. The first capacitor can be formed by arrangement of conductors 501 and conductor 502.This capacitor may correspond to Fig. 4 In C407.The second capacitor, and second can be formed by arrangement of conductors 501 and conductor 505 Capacitor may correspond to the C408 in Fig. 4.As will be described, by group in same encapsulation Close capacitor C407 and C408, dielectric 503 can be alleviated in response to capacitor C407 and C408 two The voltage change of end and the effect that changes.
Conductor 501 can be substantially similar to the conductor 301 in Fig. 3.In various embodiments, conductor 501 can have plate more more or less of than conductor 301, and plate can have similar or different shape. Conductor 502 can be similar to the conductor 302 in Fig. 3.But, conductor 502 can have relative to conductor 501 There is less plate.Conductor 505 can be similar to conductor 502 in terms of composition and structure.Conductor 505 can have Have and the plate of conductor 502 equal number, or conductor 505 can have more more or less than conductor 502 Plate.In some embodiments, the plate number of conductor 502 and 505 altogether can be equal to conductor 501 Plate number.In other embodiments, conductor 502 and 505 altogether can have more more than conductor 501 or Less plate.In the illustration of Fig. 5, conductor 505 is dragged so that seems conductor 505 and leads Body 502 intersects.But, any leading can not be set up between the conductor 502 and 505 in capacitor 500 Power path.
Plate from conductor 502 and conductor 505 can be interspersed with between the plate of conductor 501, from And form pattern.This pattern starts from the plate from top conductor 502, is followed by from conductor 501 Plate, followed by from the plate of conductor 505, followed by from the plate of conductor 501.This pattern is then Repeat: 502-501-505-501-502 etc..This pattern is only a lot of of the plate of three conductors of interspersion A kind of mode in possible mode.Such as, another kind of suitable layout can be 501-505-501- 505-501-502-501-502, and then repeat.In some embodiments, there is repeat patterns It is likely not to have and keeps the plate of conductor 502 and conductor 505 to mix the most important.But, it may be noted that come Not adjacent with the plate from conductor 505 from the plate of conductor 502, because so may be at supply voltage The 3rd capacitor is formed between 506 and grounding parts.But, in other embodiments, this is probably symbol Desired want, will be discussed in more detail after a while in the document.
